NC Teen Hits Miracle Shot, With Assist From Friend who Died

Just outside Greensboro, N.C., Bishop McGuinness boys’ basketball team is coming off what may be the most remarkable game in school history.

“I still can’t believe that even happened,” one player says.

The game, against their arch-rivals, was won in the final second, some say, because of how one player, who sunk the game-winning half-court shot, whose best friend had just died, wrote his name in gold on the ball and dedicated himself to playing for friendship.
